Ulsan HD Lee Chung-yong (36) couldn't hide his excitement a day before the youth soccer tournament named after him.

Ulsan won 3-0 at 7:30 p.m. on the 2nd at home in the 11th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 against Gwangju FC at Munsu Football Stadium by combining the scores of Lee Chung-yong, Rakaba and Eric.

Lee Chung-yong, who scored the finishing goal on the day, came in a whopping 782 days since the match against FC Seoul (2-1 win) on March 12, 2023. Above all, Ulsan has maintained its balance as a veteran during difficult times, providing an opportunity for a rebound.

Ulsan and Lee Chung-yong will hold the Ulsan HDFC Youth Championship with Lee Cheong-yong at Munsu International Archery Field in Nam-gu, Ulsan on the 3rd. This competition is meaningful in that Lee Chung-yong supports the entire operating cost and tries to expand the soccer base for early childhood health activities.

Lee Chung-yong, who attended the press conference after being selected as a coach, said, "I am very happy and satisfied that our team was able to win at a difficult time. All the players, regardless of age and nationality, are doing their best as one. The coaching and support staff including head coach Kim Pan-gon are also making great efforts. We are happy to show these efforts as a result and it is important to ensure that we can maintain our performance until the end of the season," he said.

"I can't even remember when I last scored," he said of his 782 days of scoring. "I'm more happy that it led to a victory than my personal record," he said. "I'm especially grateful for the goal scene because (Kang) Sang-woo gave me such a good pass."

With Lee Chung-yong's score, Ulsan scored a field goal for the first time in four games since the game against Daegu FC (1-0) on April 13. "Looking back on the recent few games, there have been many processes in which the team has scored a goal. I didn't think (the absence of field goals) was a big problem," Lee said. "The environment including the grass at the training site is constantly improving, and it is a positive factor for us. The team is also paying a lot of attention." 안전놀이터

Asked how he felt about holding a youth soccer tournament named after him for the first time, he said, "I've had this idea for a few years, but the club gave me great help and ideas to put it into practice. We ended up holding the tournament together, and I don't know what the weather will be like tomorrow, but I hope many children will come and have a good experience. The profits will be donated to friends in need. If there is a good opportunity afterwards, I will implement it," he said with a big smile.
